An amateur club, an iconic local sponsor — the \u003cstrong\u003eTouring Club Switzerland (TCS)\u003c\/strong\u003e — and the three-stripe brand: this is a rare item you won't come across twice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.4em;font-weight:bold;margin-top:28px;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003eJersey details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:2;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeason:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1980s–1990s (estimated based on cut and sponsorship)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClub:\u003c\/strong\u003e FC La Sallaz — Lausanne, Switzerland\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKit manufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adidas\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSponsor:\u003c\/strong\u003e TCS (Touring Club Switzerland)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e XL\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8\/10\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eState:\u003c\/strong\u003e SPOTS, BUBBLES — authentic wear of a worn vintage jersey, traces of time that prove this jersey has lived a life\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.4em;font-weight:bold;margin-top:28px;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003eWhat this jersey represents\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:14px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFC La Sallaz\u003c\/strong\u003e is a club founded in the district of the same name in Lausanne, one of those local clubs that contribute to the richness of Swiss football at its base. In the 1980s and 1990s, French-speaking Swiss amateur football lived at a very particular pace: neighborhood stadiums, wooden stands, lively canteens on Sundays, and teams that fought with pride in the regional Vaud divisions. This jersey is a direct witness to that era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003eWhat is striking here is the combination of a \u003cstrong\u003eworld-leading kit manufacturer\u003c\/strong\u003e — Adidas, then at the height of its influence in European football — and a sponsor deeply rooted in Swiss reality. The \u003cstrong\u003eTCS, Touring Club Switzerland\u003c\/strong\u003e, is an institution in Switzerland, present in the daily lives of millions of families. Seeing it appear on an amateur club jersey is as much a social snapshot as it is a football artifact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.4em;font-weight:bold;margin-top:28px;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003eMoments etched in this jersey\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLausanne neighborhood football in all its glory\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the 1980s, Lausanne breathed football through its many local clubs. La Sallaz, like other clubs in the amateur Vaud fabric, represented that level where passion comes before everything else, where every match counted for the pride of the neighborhood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdidas at the pinnacle of European football\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuring this decade, \u003cstrong\u003eAdidas outfitted the biggest clubs on the continent\u003c\/strong\u003e — from Bayern Munich to Ajax, as well as national teams. That FC La Sallaz wore the three stripes at that time speaks to how deeply the German brand had penetrated down to the most local amateur level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTCS, partner of grassroots Swiss sport\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Touring Club Switzerland supported many amateur Swiss clubs as a sponsor, backing popular sport far beyond roadside assistance. This partnership embodied an era when local sponsors genuinely funded local football, before marketing logics complicated everything.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.4em;font-weight:bold;margin-top:28px;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003eAuthentic vs. Replica\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:14px;\"\u003eAn \u003cstrong\u003eauthentic vintage jersey\u003c\/strong\u003e is fundamentally different from a replica. It's the piece manufactured at the time, with the techniques of the time — heat-sealed plastic flocking, old-generation synthetic fabrics, cuts characteristic of their decade. No modern reproduction, no reinterpretation: the real, the original, the one that has stood the test of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003eThis one shows a \u003cstrong\u003econdition of 8\/10\u003c\/strong\u003e, with characteristic spots and bubbles of Adidas jerseys from this generation. These imperfections are not flaws that diminish the piece — they tell its story. A jersey that is too perfect for its age always raises questions. This one doesn't: it has clearly lived, and that's exactly what we look for in a \u003cstrong\u003evintage football jersey\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.4em;font-weight:bold;margin-top:28px;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003eVintage Sizing Guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:14px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage sizes from the 1980s-1990s\u003c\/strong\u003e do not correspond to current standards. An XL from that era often fits like a modern L, sometimes even an M depending on the brand and cut. Jerseys from this era were cut shorter, more fitted at the shoulders, with shorter sleeves than what we are used to today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003eBefore ordering, measure your shoulder-to-shoulder width and the total length of the jersey you usually wear.

That's an absolute rarity.
